In this world and from how we understand it, not a thing in this world does not “progress” in time. Even the rock sitting by the sidewalk. For it being there it is traveling in time, it is aging like an organism.

I took some pictures which I think represent time and put them together using InDesign.

  1. Window shutter blind: as the sun rises and sets, it let in the light from different angles.
  2. Person behind shower curtain: showering is a significant event of everyday life. In the morning it means a fresh start; at night it washes away the stress and burden of the day.
  3. Oculus Station: similar to the window shutter blind
  4. Trash: sometimes I look at an empty cup in the trash can and try to remember what it looked like when I first bought it – time is just every where.
  5. Person with light on her face
  6. Money: there’s a saying, time is money and money is time
  7. Writing Diary: time flies. Every moment now will soon become memory. In order to remember them, we write our stories down.
  8. Traffic: when I take a picture of moving cars at night with long exposure, it looks like time traveling.
  9. Chinese New Year Art: Chinese New Year is one of the most important time of the year for me
  10. Rose on the Floor: it might have belonged to a bouquet, for some reasons it fell to the ground and it will soon wither and decay.
  11. Fake Plants: organisms will all die. So we created fake plants. But we won’t stop time
  12. Cutting Nails: you never realize how fast your nails grow.
  13. Green Wood Cemetery: I wonder if time still goes on for me after I die
  14. Flying Pigeons: time FLIES
  15. How much time do you spend on looking at yourself in the mirror a day?
  16. The amusement park that closes during winters
  17. Time flies even faster when you feel relaxed
  18. School. How the shape of time and schedules are emphasized in school
  19. How much time do you spend on social media a day?
  20. Empty Street: at certain time of the day, the bustling streets become empty and quiet
  21. Similar to 17
  22. Eating is also a significant event of everyday life
  23. I just really like how light lands on people through the shutter blind
